Hey All.

I've sent you on a Roller-Coaster Ride for the past few months, such as uploading stuff regularly, to dying off & lying dead with the fishes for a while, only to revive myself once every so often - & then making a fresh come back again. My beginning on this Site wasn't exactly too fancy either - lurked, lurked & lurked for 3 odd years. & finally deciding to Upload some of my first works in 3 years...

It's been a crazy loop, of crazyhead directions! My art changed also, from the giant bug-eyed anime kind, to fanart, right through to dark art - & then off into the street art, & urban culture found splashed all over the walls, in little corners you've never noticed before. But the time has come, where i've had to stop wrestling with myself over this account...

& move off into a new one. Adopting a new name, that i'm going to carry myself with! Upon learning that Chango was Spanish for Monkey, i laughed for a while - and have now since grown off the name, as the hilarity behind it has worn off - So, come join me once again if you feel like hopping on another rocky roller coaster road of - 'Will she - won't she!?'. I'll pick up where i left off!

I'm adopting a new name: MiSS-Ceen

A big thankyuu to all those people who've supported me
Who've taught me along the way, & made my day
even if it was with the tiniest little comment or fav
i've appreciated each & everyone of them...

You will now find me here:

Due to a lot of critical data within my past Journal Entries, i've had to go through & delete them. Did a stick-up quite recently, & my city being the tight-arse that it with "hoodlum" streetart i've got to conceal my Identity. My father thinks i'm absolutely paranoid -

but i think you can never be too cautious these days. My town is plastered with cameras which doesn't help. According to a Cop friend of mine, the dirty fuggers use the cameras to zoom in on people's bottoms - especially the tight jean-clad asses.

I've addressed this new piece of information with wearing an ass-covering jacket of some kind. That shit just totally rocked my thoughts - Sooooo, went out stickering quite late in the night, & had an absolute ball! I'd love to supply you all with images - which Cho & i have residing in our phones! However, i want to go back and get better quality ones with my webcam. Just as soon as i find the damn thing - fingers crossed my dog's jaws haven't found it first!

One thing i'd like to mention to whomever happens to read this... Observe, observe &&& OBSERVE!! My city is quite dead as far as 'decent' stickers go, but Cho found some awesome little stickers plastered up in little knocks & crannys, and i was quite delighted to see i'm not the only one decorating the towns!! I'd lost hope of hooking up with other street artists out there, but the faint signs are promising.

So observe. You might be surprised at what you find! Images to come of these awesome little stickers Cho found.

Mmhm, Jandals aka Flip-flops; Thongs.. etc

Art; Through my eyes, is shackled, horribly restricted - and worst of all an underused tool, or method. For me, it's calming, i have something to call my own, it's a kind of support, that nobody can give...

You can give it away as a gift, you can decorate a horrendously boring wall with it, there's just so much you can do with art, it's so darn versatile... But, it's still restricted by some fat-cat who has a closed-mind.

This morning Cho allowed me to borrow a few of his Disrupt Mags. Reading through them inspired me somethin chronic, but i realised that entailed in every single Interview, Crew Article, or Crew Feature - just how much Graffiti, Throwups, Tags & Stickers are frowned upon...

Street Art in itself isn't respected as a form of art - but a purge on society! In some cases it is, but the general perception of all Street Art, is that it's an out of line Toe-Rag, Teenage Rebel-like culture. Which is apparently tarnishing today's adolescents & whatnot...

Man, i just don't accept that. I read something that made sense to me also - that as long as someone paying money to throw something up like an advertisment campaign, - it's fine to litter the skyline with bland, dull, spiritless, lifeless jargon! Which is only there to suck you dry of your hard earnt money!

Now that shit just makes me sick. Street art usually costs the Artist - and that's it. It's there just oozing soul, sweat, pride & symbolic meaning to the person who gave life to this Sticker, Throwup, or Tag. Yet, it's considered as the product of Society's Trashy-Mobster Underworld Drug-hustlin' low-lifes...

& this is what makes me sad .

Especially where i live ..
There's nothing dedicated to Open-artistic expression, or Personal/Crew representation...

It all has to be done on Corporate Legal -grounds..
I don't have the money, nor the passion for that shit .
